"Will you give me a chance?"
"Eh?"
Amelia found herself perplexed. She was already used to Brandon teasing her.
But this…
This took the cake.
Several thoughts emerged within her thoughts. Before she realized it, she felt her face starting to heat up.
He was close.
Too close.
She could hear the sound of his breathing right close to her ear.
Chance.
What kind of chance?
Was he talking about—
"A chance to repay you."
Oh.
So that's what he meant.
"...I told you."
She shook her head.
"Just sit back and relax."
"Heh. It was worth a try."
Brandon pulled away and shrugged.
He laid down on the grass with his hands behind his head.
Amelia turned back around and fixed her attention towards the stew.
"Haaa…"
She breathed out a sigh.
'Why does he keep teasing me…'
She found herself rubbing her right ear.
